To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. BEAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at York, in the county of York and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Burners, of which the fol.- lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to an oil burner for furnaces, stoves and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide a burner which will burn low grade fuel with great efliciency.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, il-

lustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is an enlarged sectional view through the burner bowl.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the burner bowl. Referring now to the drawing there is shown the present preferred embodiment.

The burner bowl is shown at 6, and said bowl is formed with the nozzle 7 the passage 8 of angle shape which communicates with the top of the outer end of the nozzle, the pas- "sage 9 for the pilot flame fuel and the flangewalls to form a 10 which forms a chamber to receive the absorbent material 11 which is saturated with the fuel coming through the passage 9. The bowl is of the shape shown and a perforated baflle plate 12 is supported above the opening therein by means 0 a post 14. The bowl has upwardly and outwardly curved bowl of substantially cupshape with an inwardly extending flan e at its top. A portion of the wall is flat an this ortion has the' nozzle formed thereon. The el is conducted through pipe 15 to the nozand also through ipe 16 to the pilot passage 9. The pipe 17 eads directly into the nozzle 7 from a suitable source of air under pressure. The bowl 6 is alsoprovided with a drain pipe 26 which leads to any suitable device for. catching overflow of oil from the burner.

The amount of oil flowing wick 11 is very small, being just suflicient to keep a low flame, and this oil flows all the timeduringthe normal operation of the to the pilot burner. When the main-burner pipe 15 is open the oil will flow through it to the mixing chamber 8 and intothe nozzle 7, particularly when a blast of air is admitted through the pipe 17. The mixture of air and oil passin from the nozzle will be i ited by the plot flame and the burning of t is mixture in the bowl will produce an intense heat which will soon heat the walls of the furnace. The baflle plate 12 will act to direct the flames against the walls of the furnace. The pilot flame will heat the nozzle and thus facilitate the combustion of the mixture assing through the same. As will be seen t e fuel feeds by gravity so that a low grade of fuel can be used and if the oil shou extinguishing of the pilot flame or for any other reason, this oil would flow through the line 26. It will be noted that the flange 1O rises from the flat bottom of the bowl 6 and d collect in the burner-bowl due to the is curved to provide an enclosure for the absorbent wick 11, and to support the latter immediately beneath the pilot opening 9 to catch the oil drippin therefrom. It will also be noted that the from which the nozzle '7 extends and which are formed the mixing or angle shaped passage 8 and the pilot opening 9, the latter being arranged below the nozzle '7 and opening onto the wick 11.

It is thought from the foregoin description that the advantages and nove features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the.

combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the sec e of the appended claim.

What claim is A burner of the character described comprising aburner bowl, a nozzle formed in the wall of the bowl and provided with an owl 6 has a flat'wall p,

angle shaped passage communicating therewith and entering through the upper wall thereof, an air conducting pipe aligned with the nozzle, a fuel supply pipe connected in 5 the angle shaped passage, a pilot pipe entering the bowl at a tpoint below said nozzle and a flange rising rom the bottom of the CHARLES H. BEAR.
